I was deceived, and my father-in-law Zhang Xing was deceived!
Lin Mo frowned, fully understanding that he had been tricked.
Starting from the horseshoes, to the curved shaft plow and keel waterwheel at the back, Zhang Xing said it was to win Lu Bu's trust. I believed it, but I was still careless.
In fact, Lin Mo had some suspicions at the beginning, but Zhang Xing said that he was sent by Cao Cao to monitor the Chen family, and he felt that this really echoed Cao Cao's suspicious character.
Furthermore, based on the comprehensive strength comparison between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, as a family with a certain background, they should not hesitate to choose Cao Cao. This is why Lin Mo did not delve into it.
But now, Lu Bu has become the biggest beneficiary of the game he arranged for Cao Cao. Lin Mo has woken up, and Zhang Xing is loyal to Lu Bu.
Now the posters outside must not only be posted in Pengcheng, but if I am not wrong, they should be posted in all counties in Xuzhou. Isn't this the excuse I gave Zhang Xing to attack Cao Cao.
He now did the opposite and forced Cao Cao to stop.
In order to flatter myself, I did not hesitate to say that Cao Cao greatly appreciated me.
This Infernal Affairs is so fun to play.
Ah...
Lin Mo laughed to himself, feeling like he had been playing with an eagle for many years but was pecked in the eye by an eagle.
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I can’t blame myself for all this.
First of all, with Lu Bu's strength and fame, it is difficult for any aristocratic family to be loyal to him. Lin Mo did not expect that one of these rare people would include Zhang Xing from Wen County.
Furthermore, to be fair, my father-in-law is really good to me. It seems that he was affected by Xu Sheng's threats. He always mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that we are a family.
After traveling to this world, Lin Mo, who felt endless loneliness, actually longed for family affection.
Thinking of this, he felt that he could forgive Zhang Xing. After all, he was the one who was determined to choose Cao Cao. Zhang Xing also asked him for his opinion, but he just didn't listen.
This is the impact of the values of Weng and son-in-law.
Lin Mo exhaled a breath and sat back slowly.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in thinking about these things. What we should think about now is how to get out of the immediate predicament and escape to Xuchang.
No matter how good he was to him, Lin Mo didn't think he had the ability to support Lu Bu to become the winner in the war between princes.
After Cao Cao is defeated, he will definitely be cruel to Lu Bu. Which of Guo Jia, Xun You and Jia Xu is not the best counselor in the world?
Playing with them, Lin Mo felt that it would be faster to build a coffin.
Even though Lu Bu owned the Huainan territory, Lin Mo still didn't think he could assist him in defeating Cao Cao. Since it was destined to be a broken ship, it was better to leave first.
If he goes to Xuchang and gets a good job, it will be easier to save his life.
My father-in-law took advantage of me, but he was also really good to me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t even have what I have today.
Lin Mo thought of the time when he had just traveled through time, when he was driven away by Zhang Fei as an assassin, and how he was wanted to be a serf by the Chen Family Nursing Home. In his heart, he was actually very grateful to Zhang Xing.
It’s a thousand-year record of receiving favor from others.
I went to Xuchang for myself, and also to save my father-in-law who was going to the dark side.
The question now is that it is probably not that easy to escape from Pengcheng. If his father-in-law wants to continue harvesting wool, can he easily let himself go?
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Lingqi asked knowingly, and Lin Mo looked at her with a complicated expression.
Ling'er must have been sent by Zhang Xing, his father-in-law, to monitor him.
Well, he arranged for her to come here before the expedition, so that's right. No wonder he didn't succeed in recruiting her to come to the nursing home. It's not a matter of money.
"Sir, have some sweet soup." Zhao'er placed the still steaming sugar water in front of Lin Mo.
Zhao'er was brought here by that guy Lu Su. The Lu family has a close relationship with Zhang Xing, the father-in-law. Is there a chance that someone would be by my side at that time?
Looking at Zhao'er who was so well-behaved and heart-wrenching, Lin Mo also put an eyeliner label on her.
When a thought of anger arises, millions of doors open.
After having this idea, Lin Mo felt that everyone looked like his father-in-law Zhang Xing's spy.
etc!
I still have people I can trust!
Lin Mo's eyes fell on Xu Sheng, who was leaning on the beam and stroking his favorite knife.
Yes, I selected Wen Xiang myself from countless nursing homes. They definitely couldn't arrange this in advance.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. On his way to Xuchang, God knows how many Yellow Turban remnants fell into the trap of bandits along the way. Without the protection of a strong general, they might have been killed on the way.
It's okay, even if Lu Bu takes Jiujiang, it will still take a long time to stabilize the local chaos, and he will probably take Guangling as well.
In other words, the army will not return in a short time, and I have enough time to prepare to escape.
To escape, the first thing to consider is how to get out of the city.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and then came up with an idea. He needed to get them to lower their guard first.
"Wen Xiang, I haven't ridden the horse that Brother Ze gave me yet. I want to practice my riding skills and take me outside the city."
"I'll go get the horse, and the young master will wait at the door."
After Xu Sheng finished speaking, Lu Lingqi spoke, "It's not very peaceful outside the city, so I'll accompany you."
Lin Mo waved his hand, "No need, Wen Xiang and I are fine, and there are some things to do. It will be inconvenient for your daughter to follow you around."
Zuo Rong's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Xian, do you want to go to the Huapai Building in the south of the city? I know it there, can I take you?"
"I knew this name was not serious. You have to go alone!" Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him angrily and strode away.
As the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, Lu Lingqi's beautiful eyes darkened slightly, thinking that it would be better to tell her father about this matter.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
Letters exchanged during wartime usually required extremely important messages to be conveyed, especially if fast horses were to be used.
However, Lu Bu had repeatedly asked before going on the expedition that Lin Mo's matter could be treated as an important military report and that fast horses could be used to rush it. She had a vague feeling about it and was going to go back and pass on the news first and then find a way to follow up.
"Sir, when the speed increases, remember to hold the reins tightly and lean back instead of leaning forward." After leaving the city, Xu Sheng and Lin Mo rode their horses side by side and taught some basic riding skills.
Although he left the city smoothly, it was obviously impossible for Lin Mo to leave today. His things had not been packed yet, so he had to take the gold with him.
Furthermore, this trip to Xuchang is not a trip for hundreds of miles, so there are still a lot of things to prepare.
"Wen Xiang, tell me, can I completely trust you?"
Xu Sheng was stunned by the unreasonable words. After shaking his head for a while, he looked at Lin Mo seriously and said solemnly: "Young master has never regarded me as a nurse, I understand it in my heart.
As long as the young master gives orders, I, Xu Sheng, am willing to fight for you. "
Lin Mo nodded happily and said solemnly: "Okay, you have to keep what I say next a secret. I'm going to Xuchang."
ah?
It seems that there is no need to keep this matter of going to Xuchang a secret. Many people know about it. Xu Sheng was a little confused.
"But, we are going secretly. Don't let anyone know. Only I will go with you."
"What happened?" Xu Sheng sounded very surprised.
"Don't ask this, just tell me if it's okay." Lin Mo didn't want to explain more.
"Of course you can."
After understanding this, Xu Sheng stopped rambling and just said worriedly: "But if you take the post road from Pengcheng to Xuchang, you must pass through Xiaoguan. Will there be any problems?"
If you are walking, you can indeed choose to go over the mountains and bypass some passes, but it is impossible to ride a horse, and the war horse can only walk on the main road.
As for mountain roads, even horseshoes can't be done, unless there are some plank roads and paths that have been deliberately widened.
But there are very few such roads in this era, and Lin Mo has no time to find another such road.
"Just go to Xiaoguan!" Lin Mo made his choice after pondering for a moment.
It won't be a big problem to go through Xiaoguan. I'm not a wanted criminal, so I don't know them all.
You need a handwritten letter to leave the customs. If you are a local, you can just use the household registration card issued by the state. If Lin Mo wants to hide it from others, he can use a fake name to find someone.
Ze Rong!
He is the Prime Minister of Xiapi, so there must be a way to do it.
The most important thing is that Lin Mo still remembers that when he begged for mercy for him, his father-in-law Zhang Xing did not want to save him. In other words, he was definitely not the spy arranged by Zhang Xing around him.
Let him contribute, it's safe.
